Stop US Aid to Israel; Read the History

The Gaza Massacre that the whole world witnessed on May 14, 2018, applauded by the US capitalist press by its focus on the Trump family’s smiles at the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem and ignoring Nazi Israel’s slaughter paid for with our tax dollars, must be answered by supporting the only 2 parties that support the Palestinian liberation struggle, Peace & Freedom Party and the Green Party.

The Gaza Massacre that the whole world witnessed on May 14, 2018, applauded by the US capitalist press by its focus on the Trump family’s smiles at the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem and ignoring Nazi Israel’s slaughter paid for with our tax dollars, must be answered by supporting the only 2 parties that support the Palestinian liberation struggle, Peace & Freedom Party and the Green Party.

The Democrats and much of the capitalist press claim to be anti-Trump but their actions make it very clear they have no fundamental difference with Republican Trump with their support of Nazi Israel and the rest of the US war machine. The theocratic, racist, anti-women US military base and settler colony known as Israel receives $3 to $4 billion a year from American taxpayers, supported 100% by the Democrats and Republicans at all levels of office. There are sometimes a few Democrats providing a fig leaf over the shameful reality of Nazi USA’s support of Nazi Israel by protesting “excesses” of Nazi Israel, but they always support giving our tax dollars to Nazi Israel. The reason the Boycott, Divest, Sanctions (BDS) movement is so hated by Nazi Israel to the point where they have banned outstanding peace organizations is because the BDS movement weakens the Nazi Israeli economy.

Israel is the 4th largest military power in the world, although since it is the primary recipient of billions of US dollars and weapons upon demand, one could say it is the second largest military power in the world, the first being the backward USA, which is only first in producing military hardware. It is also one of 9 nuclear weapons countries. The USA is last in life expectancy and infant mortality in the industrialized world, with DECLINING LIFE EXPECTANCY SINCE 2015, because we do not have socialized medicine and we have 50% poverty; we cannot have guns and butter.

We are not helpless sitting here thousands of miles from Gaza. We can and must take a stand by registering now to support Peace & Freedom Party and the Green Party. They need us to stay on the ballot, and we need them. At every level of office, the Democrats and Republicans are pro-Nazi Israel.

To help you and others understand the importance of supporting the only 2 parties that support the Palestinian liberation struggle, Peace & Freedom Party and the Green Party, the following is the reading list you will never get from the capitalist press.

Laughing Israelis at World Trade Center on 9/11/01 identified themselves on TV, and much more on Israel’s complicity in the 911 Inside Job which should surprise no one since Israel, a US military base since its inception in 1948, is and always has been part of the US military-agent provocateur-spy system of US imperialism. EHUD OLMERT, mayor of Jerusalem in 2001, from a terrorist Irgun family, visited New York City on 9/10/11. While all civilian flights were grounded immediately after the 9/11/01 Inside Job and for at least a week thereafter, a full El Al Boeing 747 left New York City’s JFK airport for Israel with authorization from the US Department of Defense, and US military officials were at the JFK airport to make sure this flight was cleared for take-off. Florida, the alleged base of the non-existent “Arab hijackers” was and is a base for Israeli Mossad operations as is the rest of the USA. EHUD BARAK, who has degrees in physics and mathematics, attended Stanford University, was Israel’s Defense Minister during the Massacre of Gaza of 2008-2009, making him a war criminal according to the Goldstone Report, and was Prime Minister of Israel from July 1999 to March 2001, when he came to the US to work as a partner in SCP Partners, a Mossad-run private equity company concerned with “security,” which had in its portfolio a company called Megallurg Holdings, Inc. capable of producing and applying an advanced form of super-thermite, a powerful explosive, which was found in the dust of the Twin Towers. On 9/11/01, he stated on BBC TV that the world faces a War on Terror and called for an invasion of Afghanistan, clearly the cover for the 911 Inside Job.

The torture perpetrated by Israel against Palestinians with US tax dollars in its efforts to steal Palestinian land was described with illustrations in Beyond Chutzpah: On The Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History by Norman Finkelstein (2005) University of California Press, particularly in the chapter, Chapter 6, Israel’s Abu Ghraib.

Occupy AIPAC opposes AIPAC.) http://www.occupyaipac.orghttp://www.occupyaipac.org/about/articles-on-aipac/

“Israel and US Hide Names of Companies Supporting Israeli Settlements” by Marjorie Cohn, 12/2/17 at http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/42771-israel-and-us-hide-names-of-companies-supporting-israeli-settlementsBoycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) “Representatives of Palestinian civil society launched the BDS movement in 2005. They called upon “international civil society organizations and people of conscience all over the world to impose broad boycotts and implement divestment initiatives against Israel similar to those applied to South Africa in the apartheid era … [including] embargoes and sanctions against Israel.””

“The call for BDS specified that “these non-violent punitive measures” should last until Israel fully complies with international law by (1) ending the occupation and colonization of all Arab territories and removing the barrier wall; (2) affirming the human rights of Israel’s Arab-Palestinian citizens to full equality; and (3) affirming the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their land as required by UN General Assembly Resolution 194.”

“BDS was a major factor behind the 46 percent decrease in foreign direct investment in Israel in 2014, according to a UN report. A World Bank report revealed that Palestinian imports from Israel dropped by 24 percent in the first quarter of 2015.”

Walled: Israeli Society at an Impasse by Sylvain Cypel (2005, 2006) Other Press, ISBN 13:978-1-5905 1-210-4 (A good early history of the apartheid wall and history and contemporary life of Israel and its relationship to the US as a military base. The lack of separation of church and state is evident as “All Israeli students study the Hebrew Bible in public school for several hours a week, from the elementary grades through high school (knowledge of the Bible is tested on the high school exit examination.)” (p. 177) Superstition and militarism clearly go together This is a sign of an extremely backward society).

A Wall in Palestine by Rene Backman (2006, 2010) Picador/St. Martin’s Press, NY ISBN 978-0-312-42781-8 (Good maps of the apartheid wall and description of resistance to it; it is clearly a land grab as there are means of going through wall and thus it has nothing to do with security; also describes segregated roads and racist license system).

An Israeli in Palestine by Jeff Halper (an American who moved to Israel in 1973 at age 27, is a professor of anthropology, is the leader of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions and supports the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions Campaign against Israel described in Appendix 4). (2008) Pluto Press, ISBN 978-0-7453-2226-1. “There is not even a civil mechanism by which Jewish, Christian, and Muslim citizens of Israel can marry each other since personal status, citizenship, marriage, death, inheritance, is regulated by religious and not civil law.” p. 76

Palestine Inside Out by Saree Makdisi, (2008, 2010) Norton Press, ISBN 978-0-393-33844-7. With a beautiful foreword by Alice Walker, comparing the racist horrors of Zionist Israel to white racism in the USA, Makdisi, a Palestinian-American professor of English literature at UCLA, writes a detailed account of the daily horrors of life in Occupied Palestine. His periodic sections “By the Numbers” offer useful statistics, his maps are plentiful, and his entire book is a ringing indictment of the mental illness that is religion and the anti-women horror of theocratic states. As Americans read it, we must remember that this is all paid for with our tax dollars and supported 100% by every single Democratic and Republican politician at every level of government. It is opposed by all socialist parties and the Green Party. http://sareemakdisi.net/books/
